Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new method to create a conjugate of interleukin-22 (IL-22) and an antibody molecule that targets a specific antigen associated with angiogenesis (the process of creating new blood vessels). The researchers found that fusing IL-22 to the N-terminus of the antibody molecule resulted in a more active conjugate compared to a conjugate created by fusing IL-22 to the C-terminus. This discovery has led to the creation of a new therapeutic agent that can be used to treat angiogenesis-related diseases, such as autoimmune diseases and inflammation. The patent also covers the use of the conjugate in methods for treating patients and delivering IL-22 to disease sites.

Problems solved by technology

Many cytokines have been used for therapeutic purposes in patients, such as those with advanced cancer, but their administration is typically associated with severe toxicity, hampering dose escalation to therapeutically active regimens and their development as anticancer drugs, for example.
However, not all immunocytokines retain, for example, the in vivo targeting properties of the parental antibody (Pasche & Neri, 2012) or expected activities.
The preparation of immunocytokines with therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory activity, is therefore far from straightforward.

[0121]Cloning of Fusion Proteins Comprising IL22 and Anti-ED-A antibody F8

[0122]The genes encoding the antibody fusion proteins comprising muIL22 (from mus musculus) or human IL22 and anti-ED-A antibody F8 were generated using PCR assembly. The sequence encoding IL22 (lacking the signal peptide sequence) was linked via a sequence encoding a 15 amino acid glycine-serine-linker [(G4S)3] either to the C-terminus (F8-IL22) or the N-terminus (IL22-F8) of the gene encoding the F8 antibody in diabody format (heavy chain and light connected via a GGSGG-linker). A sequence encoding an IgG-derived signal peptide was added at the N-terminus to enable high yield production of the encoded fusion proteins.

[0123]The genes encoding the antibody fusion proteins comprising muIL22, were cloned into the pcDNA 3.1 mammalian cell expression vector using engineered NheI and NotI restriction sites. The genes encoding the antibody fusion proteins comprising huIL22 were generated by PCR ...

Abstract

The application relates to a conjugate comprising interleukin-22 (IL22) and an antibody molecule. The antibody molecule preferably binds an antigen associated with angiogenesis, such as the ED-A isoform of fibronectin. In particular, the application relates to the therapeutic use of such conjugates in the treatment of a disease / disorder, such as autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a conjugate comprising interleukin-22 (IL22) and an antibody molecule. The antibody molecule preferably binds an antigen associated with angiogenesis, such as the ED-A isoform of fibronectin. In particular, the present invention relates to the therapeutic use of such conjugates in the treatment of a disease / disorder, such as autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Cytokines are key mediators of innate and adaptive immunity. Many cytokines have been used for therapeutic purposes in patients, such as those with advanced cancer, but their administration is typically associated with severe toxicity, hampering dose escalation to therapeutically active regimens and their development as anticancer drugs, for example. To overcome these problems, the use of Immunocytokines' (i.e. cytokines fused to antibodies or antibody fragments) has been proposed, with the aim to concentra...
